Around 225 accessions of this genetic material (open progenies and clones), derived from 18 demes (sub-populations), are currently conserved in a collection at the Perennial Plants Biological Resource Centre (CRB-PPG) in French Guiana, at CIRAD's Paracou-Combi station, in Sinnamary. In 2004, an initial "core collection" of clones was founded on a virtually exhaustive representation of the different demes collected, with some phenotypically well-described clones. Following the genotyping of 181 of those clones by GBS (Genotyping by Sequencing), the availability of a large number of SNP markers (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) enabled us to modernize the "core collection". Thus, of the 181 wild cacao trees clones, genotyped by 1953 SNPs (without missing data), a new core collection was obtained using COREFINDER software, comprising 41 clones representing 100% of the variability encountered.
